From the Bride… John and I met at a friend’s wedding in September 2007, where John was a groomsman.
He was so adorable in his tux that I could not resist asking him to dance. Nearly four years later, John
proposed on the balcony of the Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C, and of course, I said “yes.” On one of our
early dates John and I went wine tasting in Woodinville, Washington, and happened to witness the arrival
of a wedding party at Novelty Hill Januik Winery. John remembers saying, “Maybe one day we’ll get
married here.” To which I, trying not to tip my hand too early, replied, “No way.” But when the time came
to pick a venue, Novelty Hill Januik was the perfect location. Not only was it in Woodinville, where John
grew up, and just a few miles from Seattle where I grew up, but it reminded us of all the fun times we had
already shared … oh, and the wine is really tasty! With the indispensable help of Novelty Hill’s wedding
coordinator Emily Pollock, we set about organizing a ceremony and reception that was laid-back but
highlighted the modern beauty and intimacy of the winery. The winery’s modern but warm feel were the
inspiration for the day. All of the stationery was ordered through Costco and then embellished by me and
my mom. We wrapped the raised print pocket fold invitations with a belly band of yellow and gold paper
and then tied them with blue satin ribbon. We really wanted our guests to feel like they were opening a
present when the invitation arrived.
I had always dreamed of a fall wedding, and Novelty Hill’s garden area, lined with trees and leaves
changing color, really made the day feel like fall. All I had to say to Meghan Stoller of Mum Floral Design
was ”I love succulents,” and Meghan went about creating some of the most beautiful bouquets and
arrangements I have ever seen. She was even able to incorporate a handkerchief, given to John at his
birth, and my grandmother’s rosary into the handle of the my bouquet. To top off her attention to detail,
Meghan located the paper my mom and I had used on the invitations and wrapped it around the boxes the
flower girls carried down the aisle. The ceremony was performed by Judge Tabor, one of my former bosses
and mentor. His ceremony brought everyone to tears — several times. Having someone so dear perform
the ceremony, while being surrounded by our friends and family, really made the day special and focused
on our expression of love and commitment to each other.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a wine and tray-passed hors d’oeuvres period before the dinner buffet
was opened, where they were served a delicious meal of locally-sourced vegetables, salmon, and beef
tenderloin. For a late night snack, the kitchen re-opened and guests were served wood-fired pizzas. We
wanted our guests to spread out and mingle, so we decided to forgo place cards and instead decided to use
a mix of small, large and tall tables. We used the mantel above the open fireplace to display photographs of
our family members who could not join us. And instead of a guest book, we asked our guests to sign their
names to a wedding tree, which we plan to hang in our entry way. John is a huge Star Wars fan. During the
planning process he would frequently ask, “When do we get the Leia and Han cake toppers?” So I knew he
would be floored when he saw the Millennium Falcon groom’s cake I ordered. Mike’s Amazing Cake’s did
not disappoint. Not only was the Millennium Falcon’s detail spot on (reportedly the only cake to make the
Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs), the chocolate with salted caramel filled cake was delicious. Angela and
Evan, married photographers, captured every detail and moment of the day to perfection. People danced
until the very end of the night, and when we finally left the reception, we knew that this had been our
